About the Company

「Mando is originally an automotive parts specialist company. However, in addition to automotive parts, the development of new businesses is required according to CASE trends. We decided to challenge new fields, heterogeneous devices, new services and solutions beyond the existing main business, and since this is difficult with the existing business divisions, we established a new dedicated organization 'WG Campus (Ungok Campus)'. Since October 2019, we have been conducting various analysis work to create services that utilize data generated from heterogeneous devices such as electric vehicles, electric bicycles, and robots.」 In December 2021, Mando launched a separate corporation, HL Klemove, to move quickly in response to the autonomous driving era, and is accelerating by taking over Mando's business.

The Challenge

Transformation from an automotive parts company to a platform company
Mando plans to accelerate the development of cloud-based solutions and discover new business opportunities in the mobility solutions market such as hydrogen vehicle drivers and autonomous patrol robots.

Amazon Web Services

Mando leveraged the deep and broad cloud services provided by AWS, including Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), Analytics, and Computing services, to rapidly build and commercialize the Mobility Service Platform (Mando Mobility Service Platform, hereinafter MMSP), which serves as the foundation for promoting various new mobility businesses.
The new MMSP is expected to serve as a catalyst to promote open innovation with external parties at Mando.

Mando collects and analyzes data from various devices to provide new services based on MMSP. For example, Mando launched 'H2Care', an app that provides customized information related to hydrogen charging station usage such as charging station locations, operating hours, waiting times, congestion levels, and prices to hydrogen vehicle drivers in the first half of this year using MMSP. In particular, recently, Mando introduced Amazon Rekognition, a fully managed service from AWS, to automatically identify the number of vehicles waiting at charging stations, and by analyzing images and videos with deep learning technology, it identifies and informs the number of vehicles waiting at charging stations.

Additionally, Mando is implementing functions to remotely control and monitor various mobility devices, including autonomous patrol robots that recently began test operations at Siheung Baegot Life Park, utilizing the MMSP infrastructure. This robot is based on AWS RoboMaker, a cloud robotics service that makes it easy to build, deploy, and manage smart robots, and monitors the surrounding environment to prevent safety accidents. Mando plans to introduce additional AWS services such as AWS IoT Core, a managed cloud service that easily and securely connects devices and clouds, AWS IoT Greengrass, which enables local computing, messaging, management, synchronization, and ML inference functions to run safely on connected devices, and Amazon SageMaker, a service that supports developers and data scientists in quickly building, training, and deploying ML models.

MMSP, an IoT solution jointly developed by Mando and Megazone Cloud, supports various mobility devices such as next-generation mobility propulsion systems and autonomous robots, and plans to broadly expand the implementation of battery and hydrogen electric vehicle-related services on a cloud-based platform.

The Benefits

Byung-guk Son, team leader of the WG Campus Service Platform Team, stated that based on MMSP built on AWS, 「We will develop it into a service that can enhance Mando's status and value as a future-leading mobility company by establishing itself as a representative brand of eco-friendly mobility services through the discovery of differentiated services related to hydrogen charging station usage and various partnership services.」
